[Catalyst] Strange static/image behaviour

[Chisel Wright]

I don't know where to start looking to track this down, but I'm seeing
strange behaviour when serving static images.
I'm certain it was working, until I did/upgraded "something" recently. I
just can't think what that something is.

I've cleared out my firefox cache, and also tried on a different firefox
on a different machine.

I've got a directory of images:

  root/.static/images/:
  total 40
  -rw-r--r--  1 chisel chisel    58 May 11 21:04 bg.gif
  -rw-r--r--  1 chisel chisel   223 May 12 18:10 calendar.gif
  -rw-r--r--  1 chisel chisel  2764 May 11 21:04 client_logo.gif
  -rw-r--r--  1 chisel chisel 24167 May 20 08:22 lb.jpg
  -rw-r--r--  1 chisel chisel  2000 May 20 08:20 tootired.jpg

Whenever I try to view these or load pages containing these, the larger
ones appear, but have the last portion of the image missing/truncated.
Smaller images often don't seem to appear at all.

I've installed "Live HTTP Headers", and taking client_logo.gif I'm
seeing:

----------------------------------------------------------

My initial concern is that the image is 2764 but Content-Length is sent
as 2760.

I've installed Catalyst::Plugin::Compress::Zlib recently but it's NOT in
my use catalyst line:

  use Catalyst qw/-Debug Static Session::FastMmap Authentication::CDBI
  FillInForm FormValidator/;

[just to be safe I've uninstalled the module, cleared the cache, and
still see the same Content-Length]


Does anyone out there have any idea what I'm missing this time? I can't
think of anything else to try.
